It had a half tank when I test drove the car, and today I actually bought 5 liters and put it in the car as it didn't start anymore.

After some fuel it ran beautifully, I guess there is an issue with the feul gauge.

I can not be sure yet as after the 3rd start since the fuel it didn't want to start, however I had the ignition on for a while when I reset the break service light, perhaps that could have affected the fuel pressure?

Many thanks for your advice, I truly appreciate it
